Slowly but surely we are getting the important things done before we leave for points south. One of the things which have been plaguing us is a leak over the forward bunk. That has to be about the worst place on a boat for a leak... imagine being awoken in the middle of the night by water dripping on you, ugh! Well as of yesterday that demon has been slayed. I had to remove the forward hatch and level the base that it is attached to. In a couple of places I had to add about an eighth of an inch of filler. Then some caulk was applied to underside of the hatch mount. An all night rain followed a couple of days later and our berth remained dry... YEA!
A friend, John Bacon, took the following pictures during our second sea trials which took place during the "Out and Back" Race hosted by the St Augustine Yacht Club. We finished last but had a good time and learned a lot about the new rig.
